RPG's seem like far too much of a commitment, Would I need to play Skyrim for at least 30 hours to get the most out of it?

I didn't like Oblivion that much and Fallout 3 seemed just like Oblivion to me. Is there any point in me buying Skyrim?

Not if you don't have the time to get into it. Skyrim has sucked up about 20 hours of my life so far and I've barely touched the main quest line. I finished Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but I mostly just played through the main quest. Never had the desire to explore and do the side quests like I'm doing with Skyrim.

When I was a kid my brothers and I created a superhero and naively submitted it to Marvel. This game allows you to create your own superhero and fight super villains along side the likes of Superman and Batman. Kids today have it so good.

Never played an MMORPG before. This is a good break from the same old fps stuff.
